The game of school is all about getting around actually doing work. It talked about howstudents even first graders would try to take the easy wayout with their homework by asking the simplest questions on their reading so that they wouldn't have to read the entire story.
The problem with a lot of schools today is that a lot of teachers don't makelearning as interesting as it can be. In the beginning of the chapter they were saying that in the after school program they read the Whinny the Pooh out loud to the children they love it and ask a lot of inightful questions. But when the students have to read the stories themselves they lose interest and try to finish as quickly as possible.
Students don't try to think outside the box and go above ad beyond for projects and homework because they know they don't necessarily have to to get a good grade. They only do as much as they need to do to get the grade they want and teachers accept it.
